Bill overview

The Easy Enrollment in Health Care Act aims to make it easier for people to sign up for health insurance programs like Medicaid, CHIP, and state-based basic health programs. It allows individuals to determine their eligibility for these programs while filing their taxes, and it makes certain groups, like those previously eligible for TANF or SNAP, automatically eligible for Medicaid or CHIP. The bill also streamlines the enrollment process by using a single, streamlined application and establishing a secure system for exchanging relevant tax information with insurance marketplaces.
